Gate of God

”Ahh!! This is infuriating. You bunch of fools!” Kong Qing was usually a mild-mannered gentleman, but after being successively humiliated repeatedly in the span of a single day, he would still have to vent his anger in some way or another.

”How dare you call us fools? Kill him!”

”How dare such a vulgar person pose as Senior Kong Qing!”

”Liar!”

Rays after rays of light shot towards Kong Qing like meteors, causing him to lose his balance. In a moment of folly, his thigh was pierced by one of these rays of light. Soon afterwards, he staggered and collapsed onto the Green Flame Beast.

Then, two monstrous roars reverberated through the air. Following that, two enormous beasts pounced forth. ”It’s Third Elder and Fifth Elder!”

”Third Elder, Fifth Elder, this man is the imposter posing as Senior Kong Qing!”

Seeing as Kong Qing collapsed to the ground, all the remaining candidates prepared to launch themselves forward. But after seeing Fifth Elder grab Kong Qing, they finally stopped their reckless assault.

”Imposter?” Fifth Elder gazed upon Kong Qing battered in wounds and seething with rage, then glanced across the participants brimming with righteousness and indignation. He finally realized what was going on.

Were they all deceived by a fake? And in his own Heaven Dao Pavilion?

Fifth Elder was rendered slightly speechless. And Third Elder shot a menacing glare at Kong Qing, letting out a long sigh. ”Kong Qing, what have you been doing in these six years?”

”Third Elder, Fifth Elder, I …:” Kong Qing’s face flushed red. He wanted to say that his opponents were too sly, but he knew that blurting this reason out would undoubtedly make him seem even more helpless.

But could they blame him?

After holding everything in for so long, he rushed to the Heaven Dao Pavilion in a hurry without having time to even change his clothes. Was he in the wrong?

No!

In that case, when he arrived at the Heaven Dao Pavilion, could he retreat like a cowardly turtle after seeing his imposter standing right before his eyes? Could he only reveal the truth after waiting for Third Elder and Fifth Elder to arrive?

He could not do it.

He could only retrieve the dignity robbed from him with his own hands, only then could he truly realign the moral compass in his heart. Hence, he felt that he had to settle this feud himself.

But he would have never imagined that … his opponent would deal with this so calmly. Even in the Heaven Dao Pavilion, after being exposed on the spot, his opponent actually uttered without any trace of panic, ”How can I possibly let you off today?”

Did he wish to continue concealing his identity? Did he not know that he was in the Heaven Dao Pavilion? Did he assume that he had another chance to flee?

Kong Qing completely did not expect Fang Zhengzhi to struggle so vigorously. And he did not expect everyone around him to believe Fang Zhengzhi and attack him together.

”Did I do anything wrong? But what did I do wrong?” Kong Qing was extremely indignant and furious, but he did not know where did he go wrong.

”You were all tricked. This is the real Kong Qing, that’s the imposter!” Fifth Elder shook his head and exclaimed.

”What? Tricked?!”

”How is that possible? Wasn’t Senior Kong Qing with you elders at the Heaven Dao Pavilion? We saw it with our own eyes!”

”That’s right, what … what’s going on?”

None of the participants knew what was happening. They all saw ’Kong Qing’ ascend the Heaven Dao Pavilion with their own eyes, so how could the Kong Qing that emerged afterwards be real?

”I see. Then you’re not totally at fault!” After hearing the candidates’ explanation, Fifth Elder immediately grasped the situation.

After Third Elder and Fifth Elder testifying ’Kong Qing’s’ identity, the deceived candidates immediately chose to stand with the ’Kong Qing’ on the elders’ side. This was a given.

”We were really deceived?”

”Then … where’s the imposter?”

”What kind of senior is this? He’s the real deal but why is he so useless? I actually wanted to learn from this Senior Kong Qing!”

After hearing Fifth Elder’s words, the candidates finally realized who the real Kong Qing was. But what they did not realize was, why did the imposter seem much stronger, and why was the real one so unforgivably ’weak’.

”Blurt!” Kong Qing expectorated another mouthful of blood.
